When I try to install iptables like it is listed below. I get the following error: error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm I am not logged in as root. I'll try that but thought I will post this anyway. Thanks for the help. Hope everyone had a great weekend. -Steve On Fri, 2003-05-23 at 23:54, Riley Williams wrote: > Put Red Hat 9 CD 1 in your favourite CD drive and mount it. > Assuming you've mounted it as /mnt/cdrom do the following... > > rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/iptables-* > > ...and it will install iptables for you.
